A classic American IPA, not overloaded like so many that came after it. Great with wings or with more beer.

One of the better IPAs on the market. The hop flavor is felt on the sides of the tongue all the way to the back of the throat and sticks around for just the right amount of time, then it’s time for another sip!

Rerate (in comparison to Bell’s Two Hearted). In different company this thing doesn’t shine quite as brightly, but it’s still a strong, decent IPA, one good for introducing folks to the style. Original rating: 11/19/01 Well, I made a strong attempt to try all the local brews, but the best beer I had on my recent Baltimore trip was this one, far and away. This may be because I was there to party and this beer is exceptionally quaffable, its spicy hops strong but not overly challenging and the balance accomplished with a pleasant berry accented malt.

A very good beer for hopheads. VERY hoppy. Don’t drink this beer on your lunch break, last time I did, I got busted (strong aroma) ;-)
